Bar Pink'll be bringing home a couple friendly faces from San Diego's rock-roll past next week, as Jay High (GoGoGo Airheart) trades drumsticks for guitar picks with Brooklyn-based dark-pop band Xray Eyeballs on Sunday, May 22, and Andrew Mckeag (Uncle Joe's Big Ol' Driver) tours through town with his new Seattle stage mates, Kasey Anderson & The Honkies, on Wednesday the 25th.
Xray Eyeballs is the brainchild of SanFran transplant O.J. San Felipe and could be considered an off-shoot of his NYC psych-rock band Golden Triangle, employing three GT mainstays, including drummer-turned-guitarist High. As to the new sound, Liz Berg from WFMU described the Xrays as "fuzzy, over-modulated garage pop at a languid trot." Think VU with a nickel on the needle. Sounds good.
Kasey Anderson & The Honkies has just released their debut full-length, Heart of a Dog, and though the guitar band tends to acoustic blues, lead single "The Wrong Light" just drips with McKeag's electric ooze. Parasites and Sycophants sez it's "Stonesy, crunchy, self-made strut and downtime reflection. There's some fresh blood pumping throughout Heart of a Dog."
